Dear MACS,
I am very interested in your client’s Sourcing Contract & Project Manager position and would like to be
considered for this. I have over 20 years experience in supply chain management, including strategic sourcing
for Intel as well as Hewlett-Packard. My skills include supplier sourcing and contract management with
services, inventoried parts, as well as capital equipment. Here are a few examples of my recent
accomplishments:
Managed the global supplier planning and procurement of capital equipment for Intel factories worldwide,
managing buyers and suppliers internationally. Results: Successfully negotiated global multi-million dollar
deals for capital equipment purchases.
Managed the materials and services contracts, and a team of buyers and suppliers, required to start up the
world’s largest semiconductor factory. Results: All materials and service contracts were in place on time to
ramp Intel’s largest semiconductor manufacturing facility.
Analyzed global supply base and implemented a supplier optimization strategy. Results: Consolidated 77
suppliers worldwide and generated $3.1M in cost savings.
My strengths include the ability to develop strong relationships inside and outside the company, gaining
consensus, and delivering results. In addition, I was the founder of a small business that now employs over 15
people with an annual budget over $1m/year so I know how to project manage to a timeline and budget. I
believe I would be an asset to your client and look forward to talking with you about this position. Thank you
for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Mary A. Taylor
